Our October Writers' Round is hosted by Mark McLeod. Joining Mark will be Samantha Press, Matt Wagner and Jon Spearly.

MARK MCLEOD is a musician and professor of economics at Penn State. Mark didn't learn guitar until after he graduated from college. Immediately after graduate school, he went on the road for eight years as front man for the Grateful Dead cover band The Kind." He finished his PhD in Economic and came to Penn State in 2004. The lyrics on Mark's solo CD "Out Loud" run the gamut and are not without a fair dose of philosophical ramblings. As host of this month's Writers' Round, we sense another circle back 'round to music.

MATTHEW WAGNER is an acoustic musician based in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania with nearly two decades of performance experience. He taught himself early on how to play guitar after realizing he needed an instrument to accompany his already developed vocal abilities in order to perform live. Influenced heavily by artists like Dave Matthews and John Mayer, his style is best described as acoustic based soft rock. https://www.facebook.com/MatthewWagnerMusic
